4 NeWburg O.. y telegram says /:
Captain Thomas c. Ring. one Of the
oldest and most respected business men
here, was accosted to-day by yOung
man who claimed to he an old acquaint-
ance, and SAID that he had bought
tickets for a book entitled ellis
tory of Orange County" that he
had drawn two sets, aud that
ns he only wanted one, he would be
pleased to make present of the other
TO the Captain. The stranger took the
Captain to the house u Montgomery
street, where there WIS another man,
who figured as agent for the books. He
said the books mad not yet been received,
as the printers had disappointed them.
He then produced tickets and said they
had IA chance TO draw for a prize. There
were on the table two packages
of money, each purporting to con-
tain $1,000. Ring and the first
man each drew four tickets or cards,
which. when compared with the chart.
showed that each had drawn $1,000.
The pretended book agent sail he was
acting for other persons and wanted to
be satisfied that the two were responsible
men. The man who had brought Ring
10 the house said his name was kamsdell,
and he was we'll acquainted with Homer
Ramsdell. The book agent insisted that
Ring should show that he was worth
$1,000.
Ring went to the bank and got
3l2, 600 worth Of Erie railroad and New
burg Gas Company stock that he owned
and returned. The book.aqent said he
could not certify that the securities were
all right, and Ring would have to pro-
duced town, city, or Government bonds.
Ring returned to the bank and got
$4,000 in Albany city coupon bonds,
also his property. The booK-agont was
satisfied with these. He said he had to
certify to the president OF his company
that he had seen the amount in that sort
of bonds.
